Equity-Oriented Advising and Coaching: Creating a Brave Space for Understanding Student Goals

Monday, October 9, 2023 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. 

Join our panel discussion where staff and faculty guests will delve into vital topics like listening to understand your students' realities and strengths, creating individualized plans, and fostering connection and a sense of belonging on campus. Explore innovative ways to create access, confront barriers with honesty, and ensure a warm, welcoming environment. These practices are foundational to the Adaptive Equity-Oriented Pedagogy (AEP) framework, which has been shown to increase student engagement, success, and sense of belonging. This is Part 2 of our four-part Equity-Oriented Advising and Coaching series.
